Last night I tried something new. I pressed the Siri button on the 2021 ATV4K and told Siri to disconnect my non-Apple Bluetooth headphones that were connected at the time.

The problem is that I actually asked Siri to turn off the ATV Bluetooth altogether. I didn’t realize it then, and I wondered why everything was frozen for 1 to 2 minutes. Then Bluetooth was completely off.

Now I can’t get it to come back on. I can use my iPhone as a remote or use my Samsung TV remote but my ATV remote and all Bluetooth speakers no longer connect.

I have tried all the pairing and resetting options for the remote. I have gone into the settings and nothing will connect via Bluetooth. I get a popup message saying that I need to turn on Bluetooth in order to find accessories. The popup just says to go to settings.

Is a hard reset my only option?
